After breaking up with Ryumin.
Ma Gyeong-rok remained in his seat and recalled his last words.
-This level of information is enough to prove my abilities, right?
It's enough.
Because I can't find information about the 4th round anywhere.
'Of course, there is a prerequisite that the information must be correct.'
The 4th round information I heard from Ryu Min was surprising.
'That kind of tragedy really happens?'
If this is true, we need to be careful from the start.
You must not neglect your surroundings.
At that time, Ahn Sang-cheol, who was next to him, suddenly lowered his head.
"sorry. CEO. Earlier, I got excited without realizing it and started making noises… … ."
"it's okay. "It's because Director Ahn was thinking of me, right?"
"then… … "Now that I'm thinking of you, can I say one more thing?"
"Please state your opinion without adding or subtracting."
"Honestly, I am suspicious of a person named Ryumin. Seeing the future... … "If you have that ability, you can just eat well and live well on your own. Why are you helping us?"
"You said you want to grow with our company, right? "I guess you want to make more money."
"Is there really a reason to do that? "If you have 280 billion won, you can't use it all even if you play and eat for the rest of your life."
"I guess that's not enough. There is no end to human greed. "Even if it's me, if I have information that will definitely make money, I will immediately invest."
"Even so, it is too dangerous to just trust that person's information. "I wonder if such an incredible rune even exists."
"I agree with that. but."
Ma Gyeong-rok's eyes changed.
Like the eyes of a hawk aiming for its prey.
"If he is truly a prophet who can see the future, we must make sure he is on our side. Think about it. How helpful it would be to be informed and prepared for each round. "It's a bonus that the company grows in the process."
"But is it true that the prophet is… … ."
"That's it."
Ma Gyeong-rok raised one corner of his mouth.
"Won't we just wait and see?"
* * *
On the way back home.
Ryumin's steps were light.
Because things went exactly as planned.
'Like the previous episode, Ma Gyeong-rok made me interested.'
Even though I couldn't convince Ma Gyeong-rok, there's nothing to worry about.
'Anyway, after the fourth round, you will be convinced that I am a prophet.'
Important information such as side quests was not mentioned.
The method of ranking was also deliberately hidden.
'I'm too busy taking care of my own food, so there's no reason to give it to others.'
just.
[Round 4 is not a quest to kill monsters, but a massacre between players.]That much was said.
It is as if the substance has been removed and only the shell has been revealed.
'That alone would be enough to prove that I am a prophet.'
prophet?
It's not wrong.
Because we are looking into the future through dozens of regressions.
Runes of future poetry?
Such runes do exist.
However, as Ryumin said, it is not a rune that can foresee the distant future.
'At most, it's a rune that allows you to see a few seconds into the future.'
However, we cannot just ignore it.
This is also included in the list of runes that must be obtained.
'This rune can only be obtained after 8 rounds. It's still too early.'
In any case, if the information he said is correct, Ma Gyeong-rok will have no choice but to believe it.
'Although my home address was exposed to Ma Kyung-rok and Ahn Sang-cheol and I was even revealed to be a prophet... … .'
Ryumin was sure.
It's not dangerous.
They won't harm or threaten you or your brother.
'Rather, I will treat you with the utmost respect and protect you because you are a prophet. It would be better for Ma Gyeong-rok to keep him by his side as an ally rather than making him an enemy.'
If you have an ally called a prophet, you will be more reliable than anyone else.
'So, wouldn't it be better to tell Minju-ri now? I am a prophet.'
Now that we have decided to take on the concept of a prophet, we need to push forward.
There is no benefit in hiding it.
If you say it too late, there is a risk that trust will be broken.
'It would be better to hide the fact that I am a black scythe.'
If you reveal that it is a black scythe, your actions in the other world will be restricted.
'If I'm wrong with my cruel side, I might be labeled unfavorably.'
It is best to hide the identity of the black scythe.
However, it is better to reveal that you are a prophet.
Only then can you openly help Min-ri by giving her information about the next round.
'Someday they'll ask me what I do for a living, so it might be a good idea to tell me now.'
It may be sudden, but I called Minjoo-ri.
"Uh, Juri."
-What's going on? Do you make all the calls first?
"I have something to tell you, but can you give me a moment? "I'll go to the convenience store."
-uh? Oh, now?
"huh. "How about I see you in an hour?"
-Ah Okay! see you then.
I made an appointment, waved my hand, and caught a taxi.
"Please go to GS24 Yeonhui branch."
"yep! "Please belt your seat belt, sir."
While I was looking out the window and lost in thought, my cell phone rang.
I looked at it to see if it was Minjoo-ri, and saw an unfamiliar number on it.
'Ah, this number… … .'
Is it already time for guidance?
Is it natural to answer the phone with that thought in mind?
- Hello, boss! This is Taeguk Choi, a supercar dealer! It's none other than the supercar you've been waiting for.
'I didn't really wait.'
Still, I needed the car for many reasons, so it would have been better to get it delivered today.
-I would like to guide you right away. Where should I go?
'What should I do? Now I have to meet Juri.'
It takes time to ask someone to come home right away.
However, it is also awkward to ask people to come to the convenience store.
It's noticeable, but the place is narrow because it's in an alley.
"Can you come to Seodaemun-gu? "I'll send you the address via text."
-yes! I'll be there soon!
As soon as I hung up, I sent the address and told it to the driver.
"Knight. "Please go to the residential area near the fire station in Seodaemun-gu, not the GS24 Yeonhui branch."
"Yes!"
The place Ryu Min was talking about was none other than his old house before he moved, a shabby multi-family house.
'If it's there, there's space to park the car, so it'll be fine.'
I'll have to go and see if there's any mail.
* * *
"Please stop here."
"I understand, sir."
I paid the taxi fare and got out of the car.
As I walked down the old alley to take delivery of the car, I felt a new emotion.
'It's only been two months since we moved, but it feels like old times.'
I lived in a 100 pyeong apartment in a dense forest, and stopped by a shabby residential area.
As I felt the gap between the neighborhoods, I felt like I had come home.
I walked like I was taking a walk while reading a text message from the dealer.
'They say they'll arrive in 10 minutes, so I guess I'll just have to wait a bit.'
I arrived in front of the house with the intention of checking the mail.
'huh?'
Unexpected people are snooping around the house.
"Dad, look over there! "It's Ryumin."
"hmm? Min?!"
Ryumin frowned as he saw the two people approaching him.
Because they were relatives who were worse than others and whom I never wanted to see again.
"It's been a while, Minah. "How are you?"
"What are you doing here, uncle?"
When I asked again in a cold voice, the frown of my relative who was next to me crumpled.
"Hey, you bastard. What is your habit of talking to my father? "If you haven't seen each other in a while, you should bend down first!"
"why me?"
"what?"
"Did you want your uncle to be by your side when your mom and dad died and the world collapsed? Or did you even protect her as her guardian? What kind of favor did she owe her uncle for bowing down? "I don't know, did you just turn your back on me?"
"Hey, you bastard!"
"You remember my uncle too, right? You often asked my father to lend you money. Since he passed away, he didn't say a word. "Don't you think it's too much?"
"… … ."
The two people are taken aback when they criticize him with such rude remarks.
"What's wrong with your facial expressions? "Did I say something wrong?"
"Hey, this bastard is going to die! "And why are you speaking informally to your brother?"
"What about you? "He's not even like his brother."
"what? This bastard… … !"
"Stop it, both of you!"
After being stopped by his uncle, Ryumin momentarily looked at himself.
'Oh my, I was so upset that I shot it without realizing it.'
Was it because he trusted his uncle that much?
Or was it because I thought this was the last time I would see it like this?
'I was unusually excited.'
After reflecting, Ryu Min quickly calmed down his excitement.
My uncle says loudly, clearing his voice.
"okay. I admit it was my fault. So, let me ask you one favor."
Rustle-
My uncle takes out a document from his bag.
"Please sign that you agree to this."
"What is this?"
"You don't know anything, you bastard. "Do as you are told!"
My relative barked next to me, but I ignored him.
widely-
I snatched up the document and looked at it.
"Agreement to receive insurance money?"
I raised my head and looked at my uncle.
'Ah, this human.'
Ryumin was able to know the detailed story.
Because I've already read your inner thoughts.
"Let me tell you what it is. "Did you hear that your grandfather and grandmother passed away this time?"
"You probably heard that. "No one is contacting me."
"Yes, I guess so. Anyway, your grandfather took out the death insurance? The beneficiary of the insurance money was designated as grandmother. But her grandmother passed away, so there's no one to receive the insurance money, right?"
"… … ."
"So I asked the insurance company, and luckily they said that my relatives, who are my grandmother's legal representatives, can collect it on my behalf. "Including you."
"… … ."
"However, they say you can only receive it with the consent of all legal representatives, so I would like you to sign here."
'Is this the reason you came and lingered in front of my house? To get insurance money?'
Ryumin, who had been listening quietly, let out a chuckle.
"So what if I don't agree? "Are my relatives, including my uncle, unable to receive insurance benefits?"
"huh? Yeah, that's right. Not just us, but you too... … ."
"Then I won't agree."
My uncle's eyebrows twitch.
"why?"
"Because I don't want relatives who turn their backs on me and take my money."
"Whoa… … Min-ah. Think carefully. This is not the time to be swayed by personal emotions. You are a full-fledged adult now. Since you probably have a lot of money to spend, shouldn't you share the insurance money? You have a younger brother. How long are you going to live in this old-fashioned house? huh?"
"I don't want to see my uncle doing this in such a lame way to get my consent."
"Are you doing this just to please me? I'm being considerate so that you can get even a penny... … ."
Jjol-Aak- Jjol-
As if there was nothing more to think about, Ryu Min tore up the consent form he was holding.
"W-what are you doing!"
"I couldn't understand it through words, so I showed it through actions."
"You stupid bastard who didn't learn anything from your parents!"
It's funny.
It's like my uncle getting excited over just a piece of paper.
'I can't believe I once tried to trust and rely on a money maker like that.'
While Ryumin sighs.
"I knew it would be like this! Dad, did you see it? "You idiot, you can't understand me in words?"
My relative loosened his knuckles as he looked at Ryu Min.
"Baby, when you say nice things, do you need to write a consent form?"
"why? Hit it? Are you confident?"
"Look at this guy? Your confidence has grown tremendously even though we haven't seen each other? "Is this because you're a player too?"
My older brother, who had been snickering, growled with a grim face.
"Don't fool around, kid. "Seeing as you didn't fall behind early, it looks like you managed to survive until the third round, but I'm at a different level than you, right?"
"What level is it?"
"It's 11, kid. "I already have a job."
"11? Phew."
"Fuck, did you laugh just now?"
The uncle grabbed the shoulder of the son who was about to rush at him.
"Wait a moment. "Let me tell you first before I do anything."
The uncle looked at Ryumin with reprimanding eyes.
"Whoa, Minah. Why are you doing this? "Why are you complicating things with what happened in the past?"
"… … ."
"Are you short on money? "Were you dissatisfied with me because I didn't pay your father's debt?"
"… … ."
"okay. Your father is not in this world, but I will compensate you even a little. How much do you need? How much will you be satisfied with? First listen and think... … ."
It was then.
Rumble-rumble!
The three people's heads turned at the loud engine noise.
What I saw was a supercar that did not fit into the shabby neighborhood.
"Hey, that's it! "It's a Lamborghini Aventador model, right?"
When the dream car I had been looking for several times appeared in front of me, my relative spoke in an excited voice.
"Ha, I'm jealous of you. "How on earth did the person who drives that expensive thing come to be?"
"It's in front of you."
When Ryumin blurts out, his older brother frowns.
"what? "You idiot."
"Be kind, if you want to go somewhere and be treated like an older brother. "Don't even swear."
Ryu Min, who gave a good word, looked at his uncle.
"It's the same with my uncle. Be kind. Don't just chase money. I am also good at educating my children. "Someday, I will be stabbed in the same way by my child."
"Okay, I understand. I was wrong. So, just go to the insurance company together and agree... … ."
"Oh, it's okay. "It's hard to listen to it anymore."
"Where are you going! I'm not finished talking yet... … !"
My uncle closed his eyes before speaking.
It's not because Ryu Min was talking to the driver who got out of the supercar.
"what? Do you know him? Or a friend?"
However, the driver greets Ryumin at a 90 degree angle, which makes him seem like an acquaintance or friend.
He even hands over the car keys and disappears.
"what? Oh, no way... … ."
Ryumin naturally sat in the driver's seat.
The pupils of the relative who was watching were shaking back and forth.
My uncle looks confused, perhaps because he has little understanding of the situation.
Rumbling-
Ryumin pulled the Lamborghini in front of the two people.
Ji-e-ing-
He rolled down the car window and left some final advice.
"You don't have much time to live in this life, so live a good life. Did you know?"
"… … ."
"… … ."
With that said, finally.
Boo Ah Ah Ah- !!!
The Lamborghini roared out of the neighborhood.
